Background Process Schedule lets you view the background processes that are scheduled, what
their current state is, and when they are scheduled to run again.
8.4.10 Viewing Traffic Patterns
From the Verb Statistics page, you can determine traffic patterns and potential system bottlenecks.
You can use this page to view a running count of all verbs called and requests made since eDirectory
was last initialized. This page also shows how many of those requests are currently active and the
minimum, maximum, and average times (in milliseconds) it takes to process those requests.
Background process, bindery, and standard eDirectory requests are tracked.
If you view this page on an older version of eDirectory, you might not see as much information as if
you are running eDirectory 8.5 or later.
8.4.11 Viewing Background Processes
From the Background Process Schedule page, you can view the background processes that are
scheduled, what their current state is, and when they are scheduled to run again. Novell iMonitor's
Background Process Schedule is a server-centric feature. That is, it can only be viewed on a server
where iMonitor is running. If you need to access the background process schedule on another server,
you must switch to the iMonitor running on that server. As you upgrade more servers to eDirectory
8.5, iMonitor's server-centric features will be more available to you. Other server-centric features
include the DSTrace and DSRepair pages.
To access information on the Background Process Schedule page, you must be the equivalent of
Administrator of the server or a console operator. You are prompted to log in so your credentials can
be verified before you can access information on this page.
8.4.12 Viewing eDirectory Server Errors
From the Error Index page, you can view information about the errors found on your eDirectory
servers. The errors are separated into two fields: eDirectory-specific errors and other errors that
might be of interest. Each error listed is hyperlinked to a description that contains an explanation,
possible cause, and troubleshooting actions.

In iMonitor, click Error Index in the Assistant frame.
From the Error Index page you can link to the latest Novell documentation on errors, technical
information, and white papers.
8.4.13 Viewing DSRepair Information
From the DSRepair page, you can view problems and back up or clean up your DIB sets. Novell
iMonitor's DSRepair is a server-centric feature. That is, it can be initiated only on a server where
iMonitor is running. If you need to access the DSRepair information on another server, you must
switch to the iMonitor running on that server. As you upgrade more servers to later versions of
eDirectory, iMonitor's server-centric features will be more available to you. Other server-centric
features include the DSTrace and Background Process Schedule pages.
